Hermione - we like the grandeur but not the association - alternatives?

My partner and i think Hermione is a gorgeous name. Unfortunately neither of us likes Harry Potter! Can you suggest any other names that have that classical feeling? I think Hermione sounds quite grand, unusual, and sophisticated. I can't think of any alternatives.

I think Hermione is a gorgeous name too - I would definitely still go for it - like humph says, at least they other kids'll be able to say it and spell it!

I love Hermione
At least after Harry Potter people will be able to say it, my friend used to get a lot of Her - me - own.

What about
Octavia
Clara (I have one of those!)
Helena
Penelope
